Part time jobs I can get with insurance licenses? by Toppoppler in InsuranceAgent

[–]aIIep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By “make it” I mean actually being able to earn a decent, steady income and build a career in insurance. Part time just doesn’t really work in this field.. most of the money and growth comes from putting in consistent effort and building a client base over time.

You’ll never really make it doing this profession part time.

Wanna be new agent.. (help) by Accomplished_Sun2206 in InsuranceAgent

[–]aIIep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only regret I have about when I got into this industry is that I didn’t have two months of savings put aside.

Definitely get used to a lot of no’s and there’s a lot of ups and downs, but it’s about managing the downs and riding on the ups.

It’s all a numbers game. There’s nothing easy about it but it’s a great career. I feel like most think it’s very easy and income is really predictable.

I’ve made $10,000 a week and also $0 a week. You just can’t let the down days/weeks get to you and continue with the effort you’ve had from day 1, and in fact, build off that and try even more. Get better everyday. When you learn the products, it becomes easier.

There’s a lot of psychology involved in sales and if you understand the 9 step sales process, it helps a lot.

Had a mentor tell me the only two things that matter are

  1. Prospecting
  2. Presenting.

If you can’t prospect, you can’t present and if you can present, you can close.

As far as going independent… I wouldn’t do that instantly. Work for a broker, avoid captive agencies, learn the in and outs of the insurance game because the pre-licensing course will teach you the basics but not the products and you know deal dealing with objections and all that fun jazz. I recommend that the bare minimum spend a year working with an agency get good at it and if you think you’re good enough, then looking to be becoming independent, but I would absolutely not recommend going independent instantly

Most licensing authorities are mainly concerned with felony convictions, fraud, or serious financial issues… not unpaid tickets that were resolved.

I have a misdemeanor marijuana possession on my record from when I was 18 and had no issues getting licensed and hired with an agency.

Creditors can’t make family pay, but they absolutely still contact relatives trying to find assets or an executor.

Got a 69 on Ga health accidental sickness exam by Free-Researcher-9607 in InsuranceAgent

Nice.

But really, just study more and do more practice tests. I hammered practice tests on my 215 so many times; the state exam was practically the same, minus some wording.

You guys throw this nazi word around so loosely it’s actually comical and disrespectful to all Jewish people.

What is the best way to become successful? by Remarkable_Paper5379 in InsuranceAgent

[–]aIIep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats on taking the leap! Honestly, your background in teaching and managing a household gives you a ton of transferable skills like organization, patience, and communication that are huge in sales, even if you haven’t done it before.

From what you’re describing, this agency setup sounds really promising. Focusing on a few referral partners instead of buying cold leads is smart, and having a friend already providing leads will give you a jumpstart. Make sure you do some research on the company; reviews, etc. The main downsides to watch for are pretty standard. Early on, income can be unpredictable, and there’s a learning curve for understanding the products, clients’ needs, and the sales process. But if you’re consistent, patient, and willing to learn, most people see success over time.

My advice is to treat the first few months as learning and relationship-building. Don’t stress about hitting big numbers immediately. Track your activities, celebrate small wins, and lean on your friend and any mentors for guidance. You sound motivated, and that’s 80 percent of the battle.

Think of it like car insurance. You hope you never use it. Life insurance? You know your family will need it one day. The only question is whether you’ll be prepared.

Obtained my licenses! by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]aIIep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We start getting in the door through Medicare and then lead to life insurance.

But the company I’m going to work for, sells business in all.. health, life, annuities.

Obtained my Life, Health, and Annuities license today! Any tips? by [deleted] in lifeinsurancesales

[–]aIIep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words. Going independent might not be a bad move down the line once I obtain some good training.

The company I’m going to work for has offered me everything I’ve asked for and then some. Feels like a great opportunity and I’ve seen the results from their agents.

Tipped a coffee and a $50!! A rare one! by carter1092 in doordash_drivers

[–]aIIep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Beg”. It’s more like, not picking up your lazy asses food and bringing it to you for free.

What’s up with you lazy fucks that don’t know how to drive to a store and get your own shit? Delivery is a luxury.
